A very special blogiversary [giveaway]- ended
Hi friends 🙂 How’s your morning going? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. <3
So the blog is 3 years old!!
The blog actually turned 3 last week, but with the Summer Shape Up and exciting news, I didn’t want to overload the week with too much going on.
For this post, I was originally planning on doing a list of events that have happened in the past 3 years, and then I realized:
1. A LOT of stuff has gone down and
2. the events aren’t what matter– it’s about the community, support, discussions and relationships that have been created in this tiny speck on the internet 🙂 You are 99.9% of the reason why this blog is what it is… I just write it, you’re the ones who show up for the party 🙂
This little blog began as an urge to share my love of health and a distraction from online shopping while I was bored in Valdosta – it has grown so much in the past 3 years. It’s changed and evolved with me, and I’ve had so much fun writing every word.
As a little thank you for changing my life, making this so rewarding and enjoyable, and just for being awesome, I thought it would be fun to do a little giveaway. Giving is always better than receiving for special occasions, anyway 🙂 I picked a few of my absolute favorite things and this giveaway is sponsored by myself and the Pilot 😀
To go with the “3 years” theme, there will be 3 different winners:
-1 commenter will receive my favorite lululemon jacket, the Define Jacket in a color/size of their choice ($99)
-1 Facebook fan will receive a pair of Toms shoes (size/color of choice) and a Nars Orgasm blush from Sephora ($100)
(I’m OBSESSED with the new crochet ones!! And everyone needs this blush)
-1 Twitter friend will receive a iTools Style Winder 1” curling iron ($140)
(I still owe ya a video on how to use it, because it’s life-changing)
+ each winner will receive a dozen macaroons in a flavor of their choice 😀
This means you have 3 different ways to win 3 different prizes:
***This giveaway has ended as of 9:35 EST on June 15.
Thank you again for an incredible 3 years 🙂
Love you guys,
Gina

I’d like to see:
– a lil babyista picture!
– more macaroon giveaways (seriously, this girl needs some macaroons!)
– post pregnancy getting into shape workouts
I love reading your blog but excited to see how you will incorporate recipes and foods that will encourage helathy eating for your new addition. As a mom i know it’s difficult to get the wee ones to make healthy choices but so important that we teach them to do so!
I tweeeeeeeeeted!
Such a great giveaway! You are toooooo generous!!! 🙂
yay! happy blog-o-versary 🙂
i would love to see posts on time management! you seem to have a good system down and i could definitely use some pointers!
I would love to see more healthified Mexican food! I love Mexican food, but somewhere between the chile rellenos and the queso, I can’t seem to keep it healthy 🙂
I love easy, simple, recipes with minimal ingredients. Giveaways are always fun too! 🙂
I would love keep seeing so many great fitness tips!! 🙂
I would like to see more recipes as well – easy meal planning is where I struggle the most!
Happy Blogiversary!! I’ve followed from the beginning and it’s been the only blog that I read consistently on a daily basis 🙂 It’s been fun to see it grow and change and become even more fabulous! Crazy awesome giveaways to celebrate! Can we celebrate your blogiversary every month 😉 haha
I’d love to see more bloggy videos in the coming years– workouts, recipes, hair styling, you and the pilot shenanigans, etc… 🙂 Can’t wait to see where this next year takes you!
I am really looking forward to seeing your cute baby pilot! And seeing how you manage work with a new family.
I love your blog, it’s perfect now so keep on doing what you’re doing!! 😀
Oh but I’m really looking forward to the family posts and seeing the little fitnessista/mista! 🙂
Wow thank you so much for hosting such an amazing giveaway! I’d like to see more of what your daily regimen includes. Like a more in detail description of a day in the life of you 🙂 Like what your workouts consist of. I’m also excited for all the baby posts to come =D
It would be cool to see a “Focus On” feature of different foods or new diet fads. I could read article after article about subjects like alkalinity, enzymes, detoxing, etc. since everyone seems to have a different opinion on it. One day one superfood is great for you, and the next day it’s considered overrated. So I like hearing other bloggers’ opinions.
Congrats on the ‘versary! I can only imagine how eventful next year’s recap will be!
Currently, I’m loving all the baby updates. Keep that up!
What an awesome giveaway! I’d like to see more family posts! I’m really enjoying them, makes me want another baby! Hehe!
I am LOVING your pregnancy posts! My husband and I’s baby plan is still two years out, but I’m still baby crazy!!!
I follow you on twitter and I tweeted: @laurenginger
I too would like to see how your family evolves and how you keep up with the lifestyle changes. I have a two-year-old and have a hard time balancing a healthy lifestyle with my darling daughter. It’d also be nice to see some baby food or new kid-friendly recipes. It’d also be nice to see some severely budget friendly recipes or ways to save money. She doesn’t like a lot of the healthy recipes I come up with and honestly they can be hard for her to eat. What’s easier than chicken nuggets, applesauce and tator tots?! And a lot of times the healthy stuff is the spendy stuff. Thanks for the blog. Love reading all of it and love the healthy recipes.
I’d love to read about staying fit during pregnancy! Best wishes to you and the pilot 🙂
I would love to see more recipes! I love the ones that you come up with that incorporate protein! 🙂
whoa, the # of comments today is crazy! I never win any blog giveaways but it doesn’t hurt to try, does it?
I would like to see some fitness and nutrition tips for pregnancy and post-pregnancy so that one day when I am going through it, I will know how to stay fit like you! I’m afraid of gaining weight and not being able to lose it after having a baby, and I worked so hard to lose weight from my teen years that I don’t want to struggle again with losing it.
And I think it would be cool to see family posts from the pilot, just to get the expecting father’s perspective… 🙂
At 36 weeks pregnant and completely bored with my wardrobe, I’m sort of excited to see how you keep your style in the coming months. Maybe I’ll get some tips for a second go 🙂
Happy blogiversary!! I think you are fabulous so I want to see another year of the same fabulousness (+ baby, of course)
It will be fun watching your journey through pregnancy!
I am interested to see how you cope with the changes to your body in the coming months!
HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!! I’d love to see more WMOW!! Love those! 😀
I have really been enjoying the family posts and tips for staying healthy and active while pregnant. I would love to see more recipes too! Happy Blogiversary!!
Congratulations on 3 years Gina! That is an amazing feat in the fast-paced blog world and Fitnessista is obviously loved by many readers. I’ve only started reading recently, and I’ve loved every post! As for the next year, I would say keep doing the same thing you have been! I love the combination of food, fitness, fashion and now family too! (Wow, that’s a lot of “F”‘s!) Good luck with the coming year, and good luck to me to win that jacket! I’ve wanted one for a while!!! 🙂
Excited to learn more about your pregnancy journey; tips for a healthy relationship; how your views on food have evolved over the years (post weight loss–i.e. learning to maintain, becoming more flexible with eating, etc.)
I am loving the Family posts lately. Although I personally don’t want kids, I am loving how honest and sincere those posts have been. They really tug at my heart strings 😉 Just beautiful, Gina.
Congratulations on 3 years!!!
Agreed with many here – LOTS of baby posts, and I love your recipes! I’m not sure how you could do this on a more-often basis, but I am loving the shopping lists with the summer shape-up. Ideas for healthy snacks are especially helpful 🙂
Congrats on the bloggy bday!
Congratulations! I love following along with your pregnancy. It was my favorite time in my life! I would love to see some more recipes and products that are gluten free.
I already “like” you on facebook (and in real life..lol). Off to answer the question!
Yay! Happy Blogiversary!!! Can’t wait for the year ahead and all the fun blog posts, especially the arrival of your precious baby!
oh, gina, what a year for you! congratulations on all.
i’m entering here for the jacket but i gotta say i’m equally excited at the prospect of ROONS.
xo r
Congratulations on 3 years! I’ve been reading for 2 1/2 of them 😉 Crazy how time flies!
I would love to see more of what you do best – the weights routines (they make me sore like nothing else!) & crazy awesome recipes (breakfast cookies, cookie dough cereal, & amazeballs are just 3 of yours that are part of my normal repertoire now!)!
Thanks for what you do, and CONGRATS again on all that is going on in your life!
pics of your baby, of course!
Happy 3 years!!! I would to see more quick, nutritious breakfast recipes. I’m a new mom & work full time- finding relatively quick recipes are always on the top of my list! 🙂
I tweeted!
I would love to see (when you are able to tolerate food) more “how to” videos on creating healthy meals such as the protein muffin and smoothies. Also, workouts of the week!! 🙂
I want to see workout move of the week again! I loved those posts. It gave me the incentive to tweak my standard moves to push myself just a little harder!
Well, I love your blog just the way it is but I would like to see a food item of the week/month and more workouts of the week! And, of course, baby updates!! =)
What a great giveaway! I don’t have a Lululemon store near me but I’ve heard fantastic things about their products! I would love more gluten-free recipes since I’ve been striving to cut wheat products out of my diet.
…and “liked” you on facebook 🙂
I would, of course, love to see more baby content 😀 but I also enjoy workout moves of the week!
i want to see and here more about the pregnancy journey!! 🙂
I would like to see more fitness routines for busy schedules and more posts on how to achieve long-term fitness and life goals, while dealing with new changes! Continue to be honest and open with your readers that is when your best self shines through!
I would like to see:
1) Fashion Tips!!
2) Trips!
3) Sample Workouts
4) How you fit all you do into one day?!
This is so sweet & generous Gina! I can’t wait to read more about your staying fit while pregnant and how things change when the little miracle arrives. <3
Your family posts, I just adore them! Congratulations on it all Gina 🙂 I am so happy for you on everything!
